Romantic Getaway

Normally Romesh is pretty decent but this feels like someone asked him to write a tv show in 5 minutes and this is the result.

It's simply just not funny, not once did I laugh.

Romesh's acting couldn't be more wooden if he tried. It's like he has no ideas what the words are and he has to read of a script taped to the floor.

And Katherine Ryan? Well she is absolutely God awful. She's not funny at the best of times, but here she is again shouting her way through the script whilst trying to be as agressive and bossy as possible. Absolutely the worst choice to play Romesh's wife. She gives zero chemistry to the role. A potato would have been a better choice.

Hopefully this show is cancelled because I can't think of any sane person that would want to watch a 2nd season of this tripe.

Gutted at how much I disliked this show because I really like Romesh, especially the Ranganation & his stand up shows but this was a really awful show! Not sure why they think throwing some comedians into one pot makes a great show because it really didn't.

The acting was awful & wooden. I don't think I smiled once never mind laughed and I'm normally a snort laugher!

I would say "it's not believable" but I know it's not meant to be - it's meant to be lighthearted but it just came across as cringy.

The worst part is my husband loved it so I had to sit through them all. If there's a season 2 I'm just gonna divorce him. 😂

Now from looking at trailers this seemed like it would be funny, unfortunately in my opinion it was well under par, not really funny and pretty poor acting from timeshare and Katherine, think they needed a half decent director who maybe could of helped improve they're acting, a lot of acting coaching is required to improve the series, the last episode doesn't complete the series so looks like we're in for a disappointment of a second series, was very disappointed and wouldn't recommend for people to especially make the effort to watch it, I would suggest find something funnier with better reviews to watch.

Just finished watching this tonight and overall it was entirely enjoyable. I didn't weep with laughter but there were plenty of chuckles to keep me entertained and it was refreshing to watch a show with half an hour episodes for a change.

The premise was interesting, the execution ridiculous, which is what you expect in a comedy, and the ending sufficiently satisfying. The "uncle" Ketan character was an absolute show stealer.

I particularly enjoyed the storyline of the tax office arriving to audit them...probably even less likely than how easily Romesh's character stole and fenced a Ferrari!!

7/10.

If you want to watch something that will make you laugh out loud, is just a bit of lighthearted fun, doesn't have a million complicated twists and turns and is intentionally hammy, then sit back and enjoy. A really enjoyable cast - Vegas is hilarious, Ryan's dry cutting humour is spot on (need to watch more of her stuff for sure) and Ranganathan has some quality moments. Sure, it's no classic but if you want something to help wind down your busy day and put a big smile on your face, then this is it! Great fun!! Obviously leaves itself wide open for season 2, which will hopefully come sooner than later!
